We also explained our vision to the Ambassador. You know very well that in the mining sector we intend to reform this sector and ensure that the minerals found in our eight territories can bring money and contribute to the development of the province. And there we asked for support to audit this sector first and then to strengthen it. Structures such as money-producing services such as DPMER and Anti-Fraud; we also asked for support to help us audit them, review their configuration and digitize them through a one-stop-shop system. Indicated the Provincial Chief Executive.
